A Hero for a Night is a 1927 silent film comedy directed by William James Craft and produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. It stars Glenn Tryon, Patsy Ruth Miller and Burr McIntosh.[1][2]

The film survives and is out on DVD.[3]

Note

In the era of Lindbergh's ocean flight, the Curtiss Model D Headless pusher that Glenn Tryon flies, and is depicted in some lobby art would have been an antique by 1927. Several were still airworthy in 1927 but the rapid advance in aviation made them obsolete especially just prior to WW1 and after. The usage of the old airplane is part of the fun and jab at the audience much like a later aviation comedy film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.
